Can't export data from (not saved) new visuals made in online dashboard

Hi, CIV_Raquel 

You are correct. As you’ve noted, when you create a new visual object in the service, you must save it first before you can export it. The view under F12 clearly shows that exporting is not possible at this stage.

Here are the relevant document screenshots:

Therefore, my strongest recommendation is to save first and then proceed with the data export. If you’re concerned about affecting the layout of the original view, you could create a new page and then add the new visual object there.

Additionally, based on my practical testing, if you already have a visual object in place, you can directly change the data object or add new field columns, allowing you to export the data without needing to save first.

For example, my report already contains a matrix visual object.

 I can modify it to a table visual object, add a column, and then remove another column, and it will still export correctly.

Here are the export results:
